River Oaks Apartments: FUTURE TENANTS BEWARE (Not Recommending)

2008-04-10T11:34:04-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My roommate and I were excited to find this place on Craigslist. At the time, they were offering a $500/month rent special. We signed our lease not knowing that this special was only good for up to 6 months (Rainier broke the leases of former tenants to accomodate renovations). I ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: Rainier = Managment from Hell (Not Recommending)

2008-03-31T21:55:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This is a very old building that was built in the 60s. They lure you in with descriptions of "60s retro chic" and the like. But we had major problems with it. Our windows and the windows of 4 other units do not open and are prone to heavy condensation. ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!! (Not Recommending)

2008-02-12T11:44:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The user review just before mine sums it up....take a look at those pictures! Need I say more. There is one thing after another that goes wrong. Just bought a stackable washer/dryer on Craigslist only to find that the unit is only equipped to handle a 110V W/D that is ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: Nightmare management ruins what could be a good place. (Not Recommending)

2008-06-29T09:46:01-06:00

From rainiermgmtsucks: Please do yourself a huge favor and do not move to River Oaks or any other Rainier Management property. Trust me, you will quickly regret it. Management is the absolute worst I have ever encountered. While the units are cosmetically attractive, the infrastructure has never been updated, despite the "renovations". ...

River Oaks Apartments: Very Cool Re-Hab of Austin History (Recommending!)

2007-09-18T19:30:50-06:00

From krisaustin26@att.net: Rainier has come along and saved a great piece of Austin History. I can't wait until the re-hab is done to move in. I love that they restored this property rather then sell to a slum-loard or tear it down. The model is amazing. Very modern... Stainless Steal Appliances, W/D ...

River Oaks Apartments: New Look, Old Games (Not Recommending)

2007-09-13T00:19:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved into my "newly renovated" apartment this fall to discover that nothing was complete. Appliances had not arrived, no faucets, no toilet or shower installed, raw wires hanging from would-be outlets and light switches - basically floors and walls. They claimed they wrote my move-in date incorrectly for the ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: Do not live in Riveroaks. You will regret it. (Not Recommending)

2007-07-01T21:38:16-06:00

From UTLawLadyRenter: The location of Riveroaks is the only thing good about this place. The roaches are gross; the utility bill skyrockets suddenly because of the weird community/sharing of payment; the laundry room often floods; the apartments ALWAYS SMELL LIKE GAS (despite repeated checks to make sure that the pilot light on ...

River Oaks Apartments: Do not live anywere RAINER is the management co. (Not Recommending)

2007-04-04T17:34:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In short, Rainer Mgmt. lied and broke the lease with everyone in the enitre complex. In the middle of the year Rainer began major renovations in an effort to raise the rent for the next year. The newly renovated apartments will probably look nice but dont be fooled; the complex ...

River Oaks Apartments: It's alright... (Not Recommending)

2007-01-18T00:19:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Yes, there are roaches, but roaches can be anywhere. Mostly quiet, with occasional parties that can get loud and last long into the night. What I really had a problem with was the A/C, shower, and utility bill. There's no individual control over turning on the A/C or heater; when ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: Don't live here! (Not Recommending)

2006-10-10T07:56:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My biggest complaint about River Oaks is the office staff. They have been inappropriate and a pain to deal with in every situation I have encountered. I have given them chance after chance and it has not improved. Also, they require a 60 day written notice to move and increase ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: Pretty terrible, honestly. (Not Recommending)

2006-05-06T22:07:21-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved here because it was one of the few places near the UT campus that would accept my small dog. When I moved in, I discovered that there was a gas leak, so I had to leave the apartment immediately. Needless to say, I installed carbon monoxide monitors immediately ...

River Oaks Apartments: Proximity to UT doesn't make up for it (Not Recommending)

2006-03-27T21:56:35-06:00

From uberjivy: I chose this place because it looks really nice, and it's so close to campus. Once you move in-- if you're stupid like myself-- you will realize that there is no dishwasher and that what you thought was "nice" is really just heavily painted over. Took me a while to ...

River Oaks Apartments: not so bad, great location (Recommending!)

2005-11-10T14:37:19-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Sure there are some problems with the apartment, but that happens everywhere. The managment staff is new and they are really trying to make a differance. The maintenace staff is great they really try to fix the problems. The location is the best. Close to the law school and stadium. ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: RAINIER MGMT IS HORRIBLE (Not Recommending)

2005-06-18T20:11:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I did not live at this location, but I lived at Warwick Apts. (which I just added to this website- 2907 West Ave, Austin 78705) and it was the worst apartment experience I've ever had. The management was completely unprofessional, rude, and rarely responded to any of our maintenance requests. ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: Don't live here (roaches and rats) (Not Recommending)

2005-04-12T13:58:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: My advice to anyone for looking for an apartment near campus is not to live here. Even though the apartments are within walking distance, I have had so many problems, its not worth it. The first year the entire complex had a problem with roaches. Every time you turned around ...

River Oaks Apartments: NO WAY IN H-LL!!! by a 2 year resident (Not Recommending)

2004-11-17T17:01:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Where do I begin. First, management is AWFUL!! We have had broken hot water heaters, broken bathtub fixtures, broken stovetop, leaking sink, mice, roaches, broken A/C, mold, car break-ins, towing even with a parking pass, broken fans, broken sink fixtures, the list goes on, and on, and on, and on. ...

River Oaks Apartments: Management sucks (Not Recommending)

2003-09-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I didn´t live at this particular complex, but had the same management company. The office is never open, they take days to return your calls, let alone come by to fix the problem. I had rats get into my apartment from the nasty next door neighbors, and it took three ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: Roaches and problematic management (Not Recommending)

2003-07-17T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The management at River Oaks changed in 2001 or so. It is led by a woman called Lori Enloe who will NOT return your deposit however well you might clean the place. She can only be described as an extremely problematic, vindictive, female with issues. We all know the 5-letter ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: large suites, close to UT, average management (Recommending!)

2003-03-23T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Management is not very quick to respond to problems, but they try to fix them as opposed to just patching them up. The layout is very eye-appealing; the pool tended to very well. Roaches were a problem. The biggest negative would be the parking. There is no guest parking or ... [click to read full apartment review]

River Oaks Apartments: problematic (Not Recommending)

2002-12-29T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived at River Oaks for a year while at UT and while it was conveniently located, the complex itself was falling apart. We had rats. The air conditioner broke down regularly during the hot summer. We had loud neighbors who smoked smelly drugs. The floor was warped in a ... [click to read full apartment review]
